Putting GoogleDesktopSearch to work (comment on How to use Gmail as your Second Brain)

| | bookmark | email
Starting from the idea exposed by Adam Boettiger in his entry How to use Gmail as your Second Brain, I thought of the following solution:
  1. extract interesting fragments and resend them to yourself (and optionally to the GMail account for backup) using the the Subject labeling idea exposed in the above article
  2. define filters to group these mails in a single directory
  3. optional: define search folders using the filtering on subject
  4. let GoogleDesktopSearch do what it knows best: index your mails
This solution (let's call it improvement) will allow you better search criteria through GoogleDesktopSearch and it's local (doesn't require a connection). Using also the GMail you have access at this info from whatever place you are. Hope you enjoy this (I am just going to test it [blink/]).
